Evil Alter Ego

Jack Bauer Comes to the Rescue

Along with the DVD shipment from PE's Blockbuster, PE received a smart set clock radio and the charger for his cell phone. Smart set means the clock radio is smarter than you, because it sets the alarm itself and then goes off at interesting times. Just when you think you have the durn alarm turned off, the radio comes on! I have pushed every conceivable button thingy on the gizmo, and turned every volume dial off. But each morning(and perhaps throughout the night--PE says he doesn't hear it) the alarm rings. PE claims he has not set the alarm. Hmmmmm....

After much consternation and consideration, MSG has decided that PE has an evil twin alter ego who appears at night when all is dark and resets the alarm. MSG is too busy watching reruns of "24"(isn't Kiefer Sutherland a cutie?) to note the comings and goings of the shadowy alter ego. But hark!!! an idea appears out of the fog. What MSG needs is to consult with a higher power, and what higher power could there be (with regard to tech stuff) than Jack Bauer himself?! Heck, if he can't figger out the alarm, he can blast it away with something from his Halliburton case weapons arsenal.
